- Yesterday I suggested the gap may have closed somewhat between CSI and Chicago Fire over the two months they haven't faced each other. After finals it ended up as the smallest gap the two have had (aside from when CF had a Voice boost), but CSI and Chicago Fire were each down multiple ticks from their last airings not against the other. It's still a great result for NBC considering how much of a rout it is at 9/8c between Criminal Minds and Law and Order: SVU. The hour's biggest disappointment was ABC's Nashville, whose brief return to 2.0+ levels now feels like a long time ago.
- Everyone being original took a toll in the first two hours, too, where usual leaders American Idol and Modern Family were both way behind previous results. Most other shows were near the low end.
